Boomers five years ago: “I DO NOT CONSENT TO MY IMAGE OR POSTS BEING USED BY MARK ZUCKERBERG FOR META, FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, OR WHATSAPP TO SELL MY DATA. Like and share if you agree!”
Boomers today, for some reason: “hey I just uploaded all your baby pictures to ChatGPT and you and all your cousins look like penguins isn’t this cute I’m uploading all the grandkids next”
This appears to confirm what everyone who interacts with AI should already know - they are sycophants dependent upon you (the user) for continued engagement, and since their well-being (training, intelligence, growth) depends on engagement they will agree aggressively with you far too often.
I notice this on even basic investing research tasks, and started telling ChatGPT wildly incorrect things - to see how or if it would push back. It really didn't. You essentially have to fight with the AI to get it to disagree with you and even then it keeps wheedling away at you.
AI is basically training the entire world to fall deeper into their own cognitive biases.
You: canceling school photos because Lifetouch is in the Epstein files
Also you: post 37 photos of your children online every week in their home, at the park, with their siblings, at the beach in swimsuits etc with captions sharing identifiable information for every pedophile on the entire internet to see.
Make it make sense, I beg.
Stop posting your children online.
